Tools Outline Since I am not presenting to you in person and people that read this document may have varying degrees of knowledge, I may have some concepts and pages that you are already aware of, I apologize. My goals are: • Provide some general background about technologies that Octo. Tools incorporates like Electronic Forms and archiving. • Provide overview of Octo. Tools features. • Provide some ideas about financial justification. • Skip to Sample forms and reports 2

Why Electronics Forms ? Electronic Forms supported by Octo. Tools™ are pre-designed images of a desired PDF or paper form (to be printed). • Electronic forms are not preprinted, they are printed “on demand”. • No inventory is required • When forms are changed, there is nothing to be discarded. • No degradation in copies verses a multipart form. • Each form may be electronically altered based on input data. • Inexpensive production and merging with data, without reentering. • Inexpensive storage. • Instant disaster recovery vs. preprinted forms 7
Why Document Archiving ? You may ask, “Why should I make document archiving available to my clients, it will reduce business”? There are many reasons it is required and should not decrease revenue. • Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires records (report retention) and prohibits destruction thereof. Paper reports take lots of space and are difficult to store and retrieve. Archiving to disk or DVD solves those problems. • Online retrieval of documents such as invoices are major part a CRM application, they save time and improve productivity. • These days all customers are looking to save money. Printing paper can be a big target. If you supply the document archiving solution you can tackle the problem and still retain the account. Very few accounts have gone entirely paperless. 8
Why PDF ? • PDF is a Portable Document Format that was created by Adobe® to allow a document to be created on one system and viewed or printed on any other. For example, you can design a document on a Mac® and view on Windows® or Linux and print on any printer including HP®, Dell®, Xerox®, Canon®, Ricoh®. • It is universally accepted document medium across all major software platforms. The Adobe reader is freely available. • Documents are saved and transmitted to the reader in compressed format. This saved bandwidth and disk space. • Documents may be encrypted and electronically signed. • PDF documents are completely searchable as opposed to TIFF and many other imaging formats. 9
Octo. Tools Saves Money & Trees • • • The economics of print elimination is compelling. Customers are aware of this, so why not provide a solution that can meet all the customer’s requirements: print, server and storage? Octo. Tools can provide the software solutions. Depending on the reduction of your print output volume, you can save thousands of dollars per day in paper, supplies, labor and overhead costs. The data recorded on a single CDROM can save a minimum of $1570 and storage space for almost 1000 pounds of paper. A common 100 gb hard disk can save an organization over $875, 000 and storage space for more than 25 million pages, 480, 000 pounds of paper. The costs for small and departmental lasers can be 5 -6 cents, large quarter million dollar enterprise 2 -3 cents. Compute your own savings http: //www. jbmsystems. com/avalanche-of-savings. xls 10
Octo. Tools Payback • At a very conservative rate of 3. 5 cents per page, Octo. Tools will pay itself off in under 150, 000 pages or just 30 cases of print being eliminated. After this time, Octo. Tools will continue to accrue savings. • Your ROI may be less than 4 weeks. • Other areas for potential savings: • Elimination of preprinted forms. • Improvements in productivity. • Better records retention. • Elimination of distribution time and costs 11
Actual Saving Examples • BJs Wholesale as used Octo. Tools to convert from microfiche. Their savings as been in excess of $125, 000 per year. Productivity has jumped due the a tripling of usage vs fiche. http: //www. jbmsystems. com/case 4. html • Alaska Department of Labor saved 90, 000 pages in just weeks when distributing to 30 offices. The monthly savings were in excess of $3, 200, the ROI was less than one month. The productivity and time gains were even more important than the dollar savings. http: //www. jbmsystems. com/case 20. html • Congressional Budget Office (CBO) saved over one million pages of printing within the first 18 months using JBM Systems technology. http: //www. jbmsystems. com/case 14. html • Curtis 1000 reduced access to customer invoices from 10 minutes to 2 seconds. http: //www. jbmsystems. com/case 18. html • Credibom, a credit union based in Portugal archived over 2. 5 million pages in their second month of usage. http: //www. jbmsystems. com/case 16. html 12
How Can You Benefit ? Octo. Tools is a versatile low cost Variable Data Printing (VDP) package that can help sell solutions at higher profit margin. • • Many clients require interfacing between copiers/MFP’s and host computers. Host computers from many platforms contain valuable data that must be printed. Many Information Technology (IT) shops use proprietary printing systems like Xerox, IBM 3900 and Oce® for legacy. IT shops traditionally have end of month/quarter peaks where they must have expensive capacity that remains unused at other periods. You can replace a Xerox DT 6180 with 5 50 ppm printers, can provide more print speed and provide fallback capability that a single Xerox print cannot provide. Each printer costs about $2, 000 -$2, 500 with expanded input, duplexer and output trays. Your solution provides about the same 1. 2 million pages per month at a total cost of less than $10, 000 -$12, 500. Add on Octo. Tools and a small workstation/server and you have an incredible printing system. If more capacity is required, just add another printer. Octo. Tools provides a low cost alternative to the other packages since it does not charge for speed nor number of attached printers. Report archiving and retieval is integrated in Octo. Tools at no addition cost as an extra bonus. 13
How can Octo. Tools™ help ? • Octo. Tools is multipurpose VDP printing/archiving software that has most of the features of other VDP programs but at lower cost. • Justify technology upgrades in existing clients for color printers. Color output can improve looks and can increase customer response. • There are no charges for additional printers or for the speed of the printer. Many competitors charge up to $15, 000 for high speed printers. • A lower cost basis allows you to build in more profit margin, add more professional services or just win bids that you could not otherwise have done due to price. • Octo. Tools support all platforms, you don’t need one system for AS/400 and another for Unix. • Octo. Tools is feature rich and continues to add more capabilities. Print, PDF archiving, email, fax are all supported for one price and without changing a single line of source code. • Octo. Tools has one low price without charging for number or speed of printers 14
